"I'm glad they are finally tackling this. But there's a better way to do this, and it can be done for both private and public browsing: Outside of the same domain, referer should only contain the domain. Period.

In the age of surveillance, there's no good reason to send more information than that to 3rd parties."

Slightly off: I'm curious about #Beaker why are they building a new browser instead of extending an existing one? Their browser is, quite honestly, absolutely horrible. It also doesn't support any of the addons I rely on. Couldn't they have added #dat support to #Firefox with WebExtensions? Or just fork Firefox like #TorBrowser did?
